Posted:13th Feb 2010I was randomly doing a wrong ended three club shower yesterday. I think it might look really cool but I'm not sure. I've also been working flats and wrong end flats and half spins between them.

I really want to get that trick where you constantly throw clubs against your shoulders. I think it looks really neat.

Also, here's a random video I made (sadly no clubs, just balls). I'll probably be making an effort to get more interesting stuff on film so subscribe and all that jazz if you wanna.

Posted:15th Feb 2010Have you seen the Michael Karas 'Wrong Way' video? Some lovely tricks with the wrong end of the clubs in there.

I really like doing flats on the wrong end, looks good to do normal juggling > 3 1.5 spins into wrong end flats then do a 2.5 spin and half flip the others underneath it (6x,2)(2(.5spin),2(.5spin)) to get out.

I'll check out the vid tonight

Working hard to be a wandering hippie layabout. Ten years down, five to go!

Posted:6th Mar 2010Oh, yeah, it's a box variation. Haha, sorry. That was quite a vital piece of information. I think the siteswap is still (4,2x)* but putting the 2x's either between the 4's or over the top of both of them.

In other news: two short clips from a fairly bizarre afternoon (read the description box).

Posted:18th Mar 2010Well I just got my DIY juggling balls done, so I wont have to use tennis balls anymore (don't like chasing after them when they fall..). I only started practicing a week or two ago, so I'm just trying to get my 3-ball cascade to be consistant, while practicing the other basic throws a bit aswell. I can do the cascade now with reasonable amount of comfort for a good amount of time (probably not more than a minute though). Some moderate success with Overhand- and Underhand throws.. Practicing stuff like the half shower, Juggler's Tennis, Windmill and the Reverse cascade (which by far is boggling my coordination the most). Also working just a bit on handling 2 balls in one hand.

The beginner stage is always the most fun when learning any new skill, I think. I'm looking forward to progress, be it at any pace.

Posted:18th Mar 2010Those sound like really good beginner patterns. The only other things I would suggest are that you practice everything with each hand/ in both directions equally and that you familiarise yourself with basic siteswap - 3, 42, 423, 522, etc.

Posted:22nd Apr 2010I love a good feast.I would love to find a group of people awesome enough one day to run a 4 or 5 person Ultimates feast. That would be nuts.

I'm all about weird patterns, Jims 2, 3 and 4 counts with 6 clubs, PPS and PPSPS (one with all straights, one with 1 person straight 1 person crossing), umm.... Martins Madness... I forget the names to some of the things but yeah....

Recently I went back to 3 balls and have been working to combine boston mess, take outs, mills mess, half mills, and this thing I saw someone do a tutorial for that they called "The Kraken" into one large mash of nonsense.

PS, Belt in what? That would be an interesting mix up to see definitely. Just watched The Kraken, thats some crazyness.

Posted:29th May 2010Originally Posted By: meshunderlayWell, that's a good question. If you mean contact I see no problem with posting it here, it is usually followed by the word juggling. =)

Yeah, you know, for some reason it looks prettier , the kraken, with the claw throws/catches. If you do it without, it's still nifty though.

Ah ok, I had never heard of that style. I'm more of a chinese MA kinda guy, though I think it would be interesting to study Indian MA. TKMA is a mixture of Korean and Shaolin MA not including the IpSun, JiuJitsu, Judo and XMA weapons I do aswell

Still cant quite get claw catches and penguin catches yet Im getting better at the Shower now, I can go for like 3-4 tosses usually without dropping.

Posted:29th May 2010Aw man, there is so much I want to learn, I don't want to turn this into a MA thread (unless you consider throwing people juggling).Never tried Japanese Jiu Jitsu, but tried out some Brazillian, tried some Judo which turned the way I was taught to fall and roll on it's side slightly, I am really interested in learning Wing Tsun though. Only thing I've taken personally though is a form of Chinese MA based mainly on Ape and Crane style.

Back to juggling, I don't know why 4 ball shower is so difficult for me, but I'm getting better at that.

And out of nowhere I almost pulled off a 744 despite the fact that my 5 ball pattern stinks from not working on it enough....I first flashed 5 about 1 or 2 years ago, and my longest run is around 40 with averages of 25.

I've been working so much with clubs that it hinders my 5 ball practice (also mainly because I don't practice everyday when I should).

Posted:31st May 2010If, when doing the kraken pattern, hands held normally, when you catch the middle ball and bring it under to the other side.... IF you don't bring it anywhere, and just leave it in the middle, it should theoretically become boston mess.... I think.... I'm not really, sure I haven't slept in quite some time.
